Item - 2023.GG5.6

The General Government Committee recommends that:

1. City Council authorize the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management in accordance with Section 71- 11.1C of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 71 (Financial Control), to execute a Non-Competitive Purchase Order, for a total value of $43,588 net of all taxes and charges ($44,355 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries).

The purpose of this report is to request City Council authority to enter into a non-competitive contract to pay for various escalator maintenance and repair work completed by Kone Inc. at Union Station for a total amount of $43,588 net of all taxes and charges ($44,355 net of Harmonized Sales Tax (H.S.T.) recoveries).

A non-competitive Purchase Order is needed to process payment for services performed by the vendor during the warranty period for escalators installed at Union Station. It has been determined that these services were not covered under the warranty, as the need for services were not preventable through routine maintenance, and therefore outside the scope of services the warranty covers.

City Council approval is required in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 195- Purchasing, where the current request exceeds the Chief Purchasing Officer's authority of the cumulative five year commitment for each supplier, under Article 7, Section 195-7.3 (D) of the Purchasing By-Law or exceeds the threshold of $500,000 net of HST allowed under staff authority as per the Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 71- Financial Control, Section 71-11A.
